Discuss Henry Cavill

A thread for MI6.

While discussing the sixth film in the franchise, "Mission: Impossible — Fallout," at CinemaCon on Wednesday, Cruise detailed one of the film's action sequences, in which Cruise's Ethan Hunt jumps from a plane at nearly 30,000 feet to catch Henry Cavill's free-falling character.

To get the three shots that he and director Christopher McQuarrie (who returns after directing "Mission Impossible — Rogue Nation") wanted, Cruise jumped out of a C-17 plane 106 times.

The MI spin-off should be called Hammer v Scalpel. LOL

There's plenty more where that came from.

TC might be short and… umm... probably nuts, but he makes the most money per film. The MCEU (excl. the 3 IM films) is the reason why RDJ’s lifetime domestic gross is more. Five huge MCEU films and still the difference isn’t that big.

RDJ isn’t #1. TC is.

TC is the #1 action hero too. He can act and do stunts.

Certainly, there are actors who manage to defy these trends. For proof, look no further than Tom Cruise, who has managed to star in numerous blockbusters in spite of the fact that he stands at 5’7″, which is actually shorter than the average American male.

Article

I don’t think TC is 5´7”. LOL

Tom's height is regularly listed as being 5ft 7, although back in the 1980's he was being commonly referred to as an average 5ft 8 or 9, a height which Tom himself was quoted saying in 1988: "I have always been pretty much the same weight, 147 pounds - at 5 feet 9 inches" and in another article from 1988, it mentioned: "Incredibly average, except for the devilish grin and the ice-blue eyes. Now you know, so stop asking: That's how Tom Cruise really looks. At about 5-foot-8 and 160 pounds, he's in decent shape, but no hunk."

Nicole Kidman (5´11”) once mentioned that when filming Days of Thunder "They had me in really flat shoes, but you could still see I was taller than him."

Scottish comedian Billy Connolly piped in on the topic, laughing at the notion Tom was some sort of pint-sized midget, exclaiming that "Tom was at least 5ft 10...[he's a] Smashing guy. Everybody thinks he's a small guy. He's not. I think they would like him to be wee. I think they're jealous b**tards.". Another actress who worked on Eyes Wide Shut with Tom, also revealed that "We started chatting and I cheekily said, 'So how tall are you? C'mon... back to back!' And he did! Answer: he's a smidge taller than me and I'm 5'7 ¾. Myth dispelled - he's not 5'2!"

Article

Katie Holmes (5´9”), Rosamund Pike (5´8.1/2”) and Camaron Diaz (5´8.1/2”) don’t look that much taller than TC. See here. They’re naturally taller than 5’7” and they have heels on. TC seems to have normal shoes on too. LOL

You left the fumiest bits out.

Don Simpson - also couldn't resist a jibe: "I'll never put Tom Cruise down. He's already kinda short."

Richard Harris seemingly thought the opposite, saying: "You have guys like Tom Cruise, who's a midget, and he has eight bodyguards, all 6-feet-10, which makes him even more diminutive. He disappears behind them. It's an absolute joke." This mind-set was shared by chat-show host Paul O'Grady who was astounded when he met Tom, saying "He was minute. Honestly, he looked like a Borrower. I wanted to say, "Come on, where's the real Tom? Why have they sent along a mini-me?"

That’s so wrong but so freaking funny. rofl rofl

TC's a stand-up guy too.

“[The producers] wanted me to show my breasts twice in the script,” the 57-year-old recently recalled to Closer Weekly.

“I didn’t even audition because I didn’t want to take my shirt off, but I got the part and was like, ‘OK.’

“Tom managed to talk them out of one of the [nude] scenes, and in the second, he said, ‘Well, if she has to be naked, I’ll be naked, too.’ That’s pretty bada**! I’ve always been grateful to him for standing up to the producers.
